Want to make an impact by giving back to your community? We are looking for volunteers who would like to visit patients to provide friendship. Some of our patients do not have active family or the family members have became burn-out and just need a little break. We want you to provide an extra listening ear to our patients who are chronically-ill.
Friendly visits usually include: Talking, laughing, conversation, listening to music together, offering comfort, compassion and understanding to the patients and their families.
We have recently initiated a Music Alive and Life Stories program! The patients are really enjoying these programs!
Come join our team at Providence Care! I look forward to speaking with you!

About Providence Care

Mission Statement
Providence is an organization committed to comforting suffering persons with life threatening or chronic illnesses. Our goal is to integrate physical, spiritual, psychological, and social care by offering a range of innovative services that address end-of-life issues and bereavement needs of children and adults.
Description
Providence Care has redefined the healthcare experience for the elderly. Our innovative Geriatric Wellness System - the only one of its kind in South Carolina includes three major components:
- House Calls controls illness and prolongs life
- Palliative Care focuses on comfort and quality of life given at the same time you are seeking curative treatments
- Hospice is comfort care when a cure is no longer possible
Our services are based on one fundamental principle: bringing healthcare to the elderly who are homebound. Regardless of where you live - at home, an assisted living or a long-term care community - our doctors and nurse practitioners bring their expertise and compassion directly to you. We also work to serve those who are under-served. When we see a need, we act quickly to fill it. We’re here to soothe pain, fear, hunger and loneliness. This is our mission.
We take the time. Our philosophy is to slow down, take time and truly connect with those we serve. Whether it’s our House Calls, Palliative Care or Hospice Program, the question we ask is, "how can we give you your best day today?"
